drm/i915: Prevent needless toggling of DC states during modesets
DC states are disabled / re-enabled around each modeset, which may lead to a needless off->on->off toggling of the DC_off power well. This has some overhead as toggling DC states involves running a DMC firmware handler and also running a periodic firmware handler while DC states are enabled. The limit of when DC states have a benefit is at 30 FPS (using DC3co) and below 30 FPS (using DC5/6), where the firmware can actually disable clocks / power off power wells. Accordingly delay powering off the DC_off powerwell (which re-enables DC states) by 17 ms at the end of a modeset to avoid the above overhead at or above 60 FPS.
